  • Tellus relaunches with first publications spanning atmospheric processes, ocean change, and climate research

    The scientific journal Tellus has been relaunched as a unified, independent, and scientist-led platform for Earth system science. The first set of publications reflects this renewed scope, bringing together research that advances understanding of the processes and interactions shaping the Earth system in a changing climate. With an expanded editorial structure and broader scientific scope, Tellus aims to publish high-quality, interdisciplinary research across the atmosphere, oceans, land, cryosphere, and biosphere—fields that are increasingly interconnected in the study of global environmental change.
